Private Whois for ".us" domain names : Impossible?

I'm trying to register a ".us" domain name with private whois
(ie, masked
registrar info).
Both GoDaddy.com and NetworkSolutions.com have confirmed to
me in email that
they do not offer Private Whois for ".us" extensions.
Am I wasting my time looking for a registrant that will allow
private whois
for ".us" domains? Is there something inherently unique about
".us" that
simply will not allow for private whois, regardless of who
the registrant
is?

The rules for having a .us domain do not allow for private
info. You can
however try to get it with bogus info.

Why is most of the URL address, except for the domain name, in gray font? It's difficult to read. I would like to make the entire address font in black

[http://pics.livejournal.com/tersa/pic/006gzfsf Screenshot of the behavior]
Before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0, the URL address was displayed in black text.
After upgrading, it is now displaying only the core domain name (e.g, mozilla.com) in black text, while any extra text (like, https://support. ) is grayed out.
It is very difficult to read this gray text on my monitor. I'd like to make it so that the entire address is displayed in black text, but I couldn't seem to find any kind of configuration setting under Options to change this.
Please let me know if I can modify the URL display to be all black again.

That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
Change a preference:
#type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
#if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
#Filter: '''''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''''
#in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to '''''false'''''
I am not sure whether or not you need to re-start Firefox after doing the above for the change to take effect. Test and if it does not work, then re-start Firefox and test again.

Creating multiple web sites for separate domain names

Is it possible to create a different web site using a different web address in IWeb 06? A friend asked me to make a web site for them....can/how do I publish it to a different address?
Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best way is to have a separate domain name for each site you want to manage. When you publish the sites each will have a separate URL. It will be:
http://web.mac.com/your .Mac account name/the site folder name/index.html
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

GPMC looks for old domain name after rename

Greetings!
I've renamed my domain after reading white papers on the subject. The process went well except when I try to open the Group Policy Management Console it says the domain doesn't exist. It offers to let me select a different domain controller but it's looking
in the old domain. I can't change anything in the dialog to point it to the new domain name. I've tried from my Win 7 work station and from the domain controller with the PDC role. I moved that role to a different DC and get the same results. The domain is
at Server 2008 functionality level but all DCs are Server 2012R2. I did run gpfixup for both the DNS name and NB name. The only errors it produces relate to old software group policies that no longer are used and the file path has been removed. I need to get
this fixed. I'd even be willing to start fresh with just default polices but blowing up the domain and starting over isn't an option. Thanks for any suggestions offered.

Thanks for your reply, Frank. Yes, all the steps were followed. The gpfixup was reporting errors and stating they were not fatal, but they were because the gp fix never completed. Evidently it renames sysvol and that never happened.
It turns out the policies that gpfixup was dying on were long-abandoned policies that used DFS shares. I used ASDI Edit to find them and delete them. Then I was able to run gpfixup, which now completed successfully. Once that was done the GPMC would properly
run and access the group policies.
The actual domain rename went quite well and most users didn't notice this problem other than the workstations reverting to installing updates themselves instead of contacting my WSUS server.

Question about RAC 10g on server running AIX and domain name changes

We have several 10g clusters running on IBM p-Series AIX servers, and our company is changing the domain name for our network. I am concerned that if we do not change the domain names in the TNSNAMES.ora file and also the /etc/hosts file on each server, the cluster will no longer function. We are using CRS (version 10.2.0.3) and ASM within each cluster.
Does anyone know where I can find information about changing the domain name that was set up as part of the CRS and database installs for RAC? Does anyone have experience doing this, and would be willing to share a few insights? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

You may be able to use the VIPCA utility for RAC to change or modify the public and private settings for your domain names on AIX. Also, the Oracle 10g DBCA "Database Configuration Assistant" should be of use to change your settings for your RAC environment.
Also, see here for a good IBM Redbook that covers Oracle 10g RAC on AIX platforms:

What Is The Domain Name System for Active Directory on My Computer a Mac OS X

When I try to bind my mac to an active directory domain I get the error message (“An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest”). I have tried so many things,nothing works
Any suggestions?

In general, the domain name you use must be correctly looked up (both backward AND forward) by the Domain Name Server you are using or using Active Directory or Open Directory will not work properly.
In general, the first-listed DNS Address for each workstation must be one that contains the Active Directory or Open Directory names.
You can use Network Utility "Lookup" function to test whether the names and the IP Addresses are looked up correctly. Both symbolic (e.g., mydomain.com) and numeric (e.g., 192.168.2.22) addresses of the Active directory server MUST lookup to the other.
In MacOS X Server installations with private, non-Internet-visible Domain names, this problem can be solved by providing a local DNS Server, and populating the DNS Server with the Active Directory or Open Directory names and IP Addresses set for forward and reverse lookup.
If the above is gibberish to you, you will need to contact your Active Directory Administrator for guidance.

What does "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml" mean?

Why is Muse now asking, on either uploading files via Muse or externally through another ftp, for a domain name that is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml?
I used Muse for exporting my files to ftp externally a few months back and I could add whatever I liked into the domain name field (which made sense as I could choose an appropriate name). I upgraded Muse this morning and now no domain name I add in here is accepted and on hovering over the info icon I get a "domain name is used for your typekit fonts & SEO sitemap.xml. What does that mean exactly?
If anyone can help?

Hi Guys
Great thread Omniscient! Like Bian, my username is just my name. It's a unisex name and caused a nice little debate in the early days of this forum as to whether I was male or female!

Setting up domain name

Hi,
I'm quite new to OS X Server and I just have a question.
I have a DynDNS adress "damienf.dynalias.com" redirected to my dynamic IP (my home). I recently bought a domain name "pushitup.ch" on www.switch.ch but it is still not functional, apparently because of my server configuration..
I would like to know how to configure my OS X Server for my domain name please.
Thanks
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I didn't check your setup.
It looks like you might have it setup like this at the .ch topdomain maintainers :
pushitup.ch. NS damienf.dynalias.com
Indeed:
http://www.europeregistry.com/cgi-bin/whois/step1.cgi?domain=pushitup.ch&lookup= OK&root_allowed=1&raw=1&Submit=Check+Domain
Maybe you could enter the dns data manually, something like this: pusihitup.ch.zone file in /var/named (and edit the /etc/named.conf to use it):
$TTL 86400
pushitup.ch. IN SOA damienf.dynalias.com. hostmaster.pushitup.ch. (
2006082301 ; serial
1h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1h ; expiry
1h ) ; minimum
pushitup.ch. IN NS damienf.dynalias.com.
www IN CNAME damienf.dynalias.com.
Getting the "pushitup.ch" site working seems rather tricky with a dynamic ip while "www.pushitup.ch" should work.
(I read something about this a long time ago but don't remember if you could do it without using an A record).
Then use a different ("made up" like pushitup.private) domain for the NATed network and/or use the server as the gw (insted of using a router)
I started in the 10.4 server SA DNS GUI adding the domain but then edited the zonefile manually using nano.
Don't know if this helps...

How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

hello,
I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
So, I have two main questions:
1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

thank you for your reply.
> You can create each site as a new Site in Server
Admin. When you do this you can choose any
directory on disk as the document root for each
site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
/Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
create /Library/WebServer/site1,
/Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
/Library/WebServer if you want).
so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
and another to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
> Each site should have the domain name set as per your
registered domains. Apache will need this to
determine the correct site to serve for each
request.
Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
>
I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
Without that piece of information it's impossible to
tell you whether you should continue using them or
not - in general there's no need to use URL
forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
different.
I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
Problem:
I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
_So far:_
I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
The two sites work great.
_What (I think) I need to know:_
(excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
Look at it this way
Original Poster has
site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
They each have a domain name purchase wherever
then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
(Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
Quit iWeb
Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
Delete website A, save and quit.
Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
Summary:
I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
Am I way off?
All help gratefully received,
Jeff

Domain Names and Oracle

Hi,
I am preparing to install Oracle 8i on my Windows NT machine,
and I stumped into something that I can find no answer for.
Oracle asks me to say what my domain name is (e.g. suse.com). It
uses this to manage the different Oracle instances, e.g.,
server1.suse.com and server2.suse.com. Well, the problem is that
our machines do not have our domain name. That is, the machine I
am using (as well as all our servers) does not have a DNS name
xxx.intelsystech.com. Their names are managed by our ISP, and
for all I know they change it once in a while. Our machines do
have unique IP numbers, though (e.g. 43.25.44.32). We have
managed to do just about everything else using these fixed IP
numbers (e.g. ftp, http, etc.). Also, names are not a problem
because all machines are in the Windows Active Directory domain,
and therefore have a "local" name (e.g. Monet) in the Windows
LAN.
What should I enter when Oracle asks for my domain name? And for
the machine name? Can I use the IP number? Or the IP pattern
(e.g. 43.25.44.)? How will I be able to refer to an Oracle
service (listener, database name) without a domain name?
Thanks,
Taha

Oracle asks me to say what my domain name is (e.g. suse.com). It
uses this to manage the different Oracle instances, e.g.,
server1.suse.com and server2.suse.com. These domain names are not the same as ip domain names. You need
the domain names only if you want to have different oracle db's
connected to each other, e.g. for replication.
If you are using this db alone, then just choose any name.
How will I be able to refer to an Oracle
service (listener, database name) without a domain name? You can use ip-addresses for listener and tnsnames, but it is
better to use dns-names.
Hop this helps.

Changing the default domain name of the server.

I know this is not the correct title for the topic. but its the best word i could found on my voculabary.
here's my problem.
Im using Sun App Server 9. the server is installed in the local machine. for testing purposes client access from the local server is sufficient. I deployed a web service using net beans 5.5. My problem is that the WSDL file is generated (by server) uses a fully qualified domain name rather than localhost. for example it uses http://mlb.stdmlb.sliit.lk:8080. When i try to create a client using netbeans it tries to access the server using this address (the one in the WSDL) but the firewall denies access to port 8080. Therefore i want to use the server to use localhost rather than the long domai name. (at least http://mlb) Can anyone tell me how to configure this?
Lahiru

These are the steps for changing domain name & IP address without reinstall
a) Stop the Gateway and Server .
b) Export the profile server database to a flat ldif file:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-host_name/db2ldif /temp/profile.ldif
c) Use awk, perl, or vi, to change every instance of the system domainname in the ldif file to that of the new system.
d) Import the edited ldif file into the profile server on the new machine:
# /opt/netscape/directory4/slapd-/ldif2db -i /temp/profile.ldif
e) edit etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf and change all the domain name & Ip address
f) edit /etc/opt/SUNWips/properties.file change the domain name
g) Start the platform server and gateway on the new machine.
